The dynamic blood–brain barrier [PDF]

The FEBS Journal, 2015
With the endothelium as its central unit, the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a complex multicellular structure separating the central nervous system (CNS) from the systemic circulation. Disruption of the BBB has now been implicated in a multitude of acute and chronic CNS disorders indicating the potentially devastating effects of BBB breakdown on brain ...
